Criminology

About this course

Crime is one of the most urgent and debated issues shaping contemporary society, and criminology has never been more vital. To study criminology is to ask some of society's most important questions: how do we prevent crime, but also, who gets to decide what crime is in the first place? Criminology examines these questions through the lenses of sociology, law, psychology, history, and political science, asking how societies define, respond to, and sometimes produce the behaviour they call criminal. It is a discipline that challenges comfortable assumptions and develops the capacity for critical analysis and independent thought. At the University of Westminster, this three-year full-time BA Criminology is designed to challenge, inspire, and empower you with the knowledge, critical insight, and professional skills needed to thrive in today's competitive graduate landscape.
